OCZ RevoDrive 50GB PCIe SSD Review - PAGE 6

This time, the score used is not the benchmark score, but rather the time it takes to load.

Far Cry 2

It's the same principle here for Far Cry 2's built-in benchmark.

The RevoDrive performed very well in the game load time benchmarks, and was able to fly ahead of all the other models. It is quite impressive to see an additional 8 seconds shaved off the load time, especially considering all other drives are also SSD's.

So with low write amp there is no need for trim support?I guess I have that confusion here, I thought there was another release of Revo Drive like Revo 2. Either way, does this support trim or is there any need for it or is that all handled with the algorithm for writing to the drive.

The SandForce controller has its own internal algorithms to clean up and find bad flash memory. It is part of their DuraWrite technology. This makes TRIM not as necessary as it is with other SSD controllers. TRIM does improve the performance of drives, but at the cost of high write amplification on drives that don't use the SandForce controller. So, there should be no issue with it not having official TRIM support.
